Worth every penny. No problems at all.Apr 19, 2010
By Witheld
I really appreciate the ID feature, because when it shows a frequency it is almost certainly a police radar, not a false alert. I also like the ability to select the backlight color, as my dash lights are red and the detector doesn't clash.

Some other reviews complain that the display is difficult to read in direct sunlight, but I drive a convertible and have no problems with readability. Depending on the way you mount it, you can get a reflection off of the glossy screen, but that's expected with any LCD. Maybe their real problem was the interior color of their car was too light, making the reflection too bright to see through. The backlight may be too dim to see in daylight, but you don't need one unless it's dark. You can see the color for identifying the type of radar when set to bright. A voice announces the signal, so you don't need to see the display anyway.

The compass display isn't accurate enough to use in a boat, but plenty good for the "one of two directions" choice you face when driving a car. You do have to re-calibrate per instructions when you first mount the detector, or the compass will appear to be stuck.

Be careful when selecting your purchase to get the SE model. Amazon listed the XTR-695 without the SE suffix, and those are the older, less sensitive model.

Works - mostlyMay 31, 2010
By R. Warden
After spending too many hours researching which radar detector to buy to replace my aging Bel, I decided on the Whistler XTR-695SE. It has received very good reviews and ratings, has the headphone jack I wanted for use on my motorcycle and was less than half the price of the "top of the line" models. After a week or so of use in the car I set it up on my motorcycle, plugging the headphones in and testing the audio. It worked. Down the road I went and all warnings were still consisitent and accurate. Now comes the problem. I put the unit back in my car and the audio was non-existant. I tried a factor reset upon Whistler's suggestion to no avail.

I contacted Amazon for an exchange, thinking I just got a bad unit. Amazon shipped a replacement the same day, next day air. Upon receiving the new unit I immediately tried that one on the motorcycle and it didn't work at all with headphones and the audio again quit working in the car. My sense is that this is a feature for the "list" of features but hasn't really been perfected. The unit itself worked very well, but doesn't play well with headphones.

I had to return the second unit for good and bought a Valentine 1. The Valentine-1 works with headphones with the add on external audio unit and is working in the car and on the motorcycle. I guess you really do get what you pay for.

If I wasn't trying to use the Whistler XTR-695SE on a motorcycle and in a car, I'm sure it would have been just fine for car use only.

Does its job wellJun 06, 2010
By C. Lichtman
The job of a radar detector is twofold. First,to give advance warning of police radar traps so you can check your speed and slow down if necessary. The second purpose is to remind the driver to attend to his driving. The Whistler XTR-695SE does both very well. As far as I can tell, it has warned me well in advance of a radar car down the road. The Whistler's entertaining and informative display along with its occasional but regular falsing on Ka-band in suburban driving keep one plenty alert. I find it best to disable the POP radar feature in built-up areas since it causes excessive falsing. It's also the case that POP radar is not used around here. The light-show LCD display is actually helpful as long as bright sunlight doesn't prevent you from seeing it. The Whistler 695SE is a terrific value and the best of the six or so radar detectors I have owned over the years.

Great gear, but..Aug 31, 2010
By Nufson
I originally purchased this product because 1) it was one of the cheaper items ranked highly and 2) I owned a Whistler prior to this purchase. The gear works great. You can set a compass, and change face colors. Compared to my previous generation Whistler, this one by far is not set off as much my false alarms, random X band security systems, etc. It's very responsive and seems to keep my attention. My only complaint (and a big one to me) is they changed the face away from LED lighting compared to the previous generation. The face is that faint green lighting that you would see in some 80's electronics. This makes it nearly impossible to see if the radar is even on during the broad daylight. However, if it's not day time, it's not near a distraction as the bright LED lighted face from the older models. So if you do the majority of your driving during the middle of the day, you won't be able to see the face of this model.

2 Many Speeding Tickets?Oct 21, 2010
By lori
I currently drive a PT Cruiser (2001) that has a paint-job that makes it stand out in a crowd. It is purple & silver with a bright yellow stripe! I've been driving it since the beginning of the year. My other car that I had been driving for years is a '88 300ZX. Although it too gets some (sometimes unwanted) attention, not nearly as much as the PT. This summer I started driving 4 hours round trip on the Interstate once a week. Within 60 days I got two speeding tickets for going 85 in a 70 mph zone. Guilty as charged. The point is that I drove the Z car just as fast, on the same route and never got busted. Time to take some action: 1) Slow down! and if not at least have a rough idea of where "they" were hiding. I looked online through consumer information sites and learned what I needed to know. This unit was one of three lower end priced units that was recommended. It fit my budget and so far, no tickets. I'm 52 and I don't catch onto new technology like I used to. So although I don't understand the unit 100% nor use all of it's features yet, I was able to set it up and use it quickly. It has warned me several times that my car was within the range of possible interest, subsequently I check my speed more frequently. My only issue is not with the product itself, but with the layout/design & size of the print used for the instructions (especialy the chart). I could go online and learn more about the unit, or as I have done, enlarged it using a photo-copier, but I shouldn't have to. I've never had a "fuzz buster" before so I have nothing to compare it to; perhaps it deserves 5 stars instead of 4. That being said, I liked this product alot and will probably like it more now that I can read the instructions.
